Using SAP Build to Create Low-Code Solutions

SAP Build is a powerful platform accelerating the development and automation of business applications, processes, and digital workspaces. It provides a visual, intuitive interface enabling users to create tailored solutions. This empowers business users to participate directly in solution creation, fostering innovation and improving responsiveness. Departments can build their own applications, reducing IT reliance and accelerating solution implementation. This approach leads to faster time-to-value and improved business outcomes.

Building solutions with SAP Build is akin to creating a presentation: using pre-built templates and components, users visually compose applications by dragging and dropping elements. This intuitive approach simplifies development, making it accessible to a wider range of users. The platform offers a vast library of pre-built components and connectors, further streamlining development and reducing coding needs.

The platform seamlessly integrates with various SAP and non-SAP systems, enabling users to leverage existing data and systems, eliminating data silos and ensuring a cohesive digital environment. Hundreds of pre-built connectors simplify integration, minimizing development time and effort. Robust governance and security features ensure compliance and protect sensitive data, mitigating risks.

SAP Build benefits both business users and IT professionals. Business users, including subject matter experts (SMEs) in various domains (for example, HR, finance, sales), can create applications and automate processes without a computer science background. They build applications tailored to their specific needs, driving digital transformation and improving business processes directly. While not involved in testing, deployment, versioning, and termination, they learn through provided training and benefit from IT-sanctioned tools and platform-supported processes ensuring governance and security.

IT professionals leverage SAP Build to more easily build and deploy custom applications or automate processes without needing expertise in specific programming languages or frameworks. This increases their productivity and efficiency. They use their preferred tools to create cloud-native applications and reusable services, managing the development lifecycle, testing, and versioning while ensuring governance and security.

Despite the roles above, SAP Build also helps Business Analysts and other roles to quickly prototype and test ideas. This helps to reduce the time to market and to improve the quality of the final solution.
